How they died
Deadly force
Police responded at 7:04 p.m. to a home in Brighton for a well-being check. Police said a caller, James A. Iler, made an alarming statement in a call to police that warranted a visit by police. Three Macoupin County deputies and one Brighton officer responded. Officers spent about 50 minutes talking to Iler, and police said he charged at one of the deputies while armed with a knife. The deputy shot and killed him.
